my grandmother bought me the series of unfortunate events books on my tenth birthday I think, I thought it would just be another one of those boring books that I wouldn't like.boy was I wrong, because at the moment I believe these are some of the best books I've ever read.good for all ages, absolutely flawless.When the movie version came out, I was so exited!
when I finally saw it I had mixed feelings about it, for one I was pissed off that the actors who played Violet, Claus, and Sunny, looked absolutely nothing like they did in the books (which were illustrated by the way) Claus was WAY taller then he should have been and only wore glasses when reading a book, Sunny was at least a few months old in the first book, in the movie she was about two years old.but surprisingly, Violet looked a lot like the actor that played her.In the book count Olaf was much crueler than they made him seem in the movie, I honestly think Jim Carrey could have done a little bit better.
despite the following flaws this was an okay movie.there were some funny scenes, Mr Poe was just PERFECT.he is exactly how I imagined him.but he didn't cough at all throughout the movie.the thing that saved it the most was the music.
all in all I give this movie a C.a 7 out of 10.
